The story so far: Yesterday, I discovered . Today, pursuing that, I gave up on the idea, sort of, because a folder full of short journal entries poses its own problems, like being able to preview and search the entries really easily.
A recent update to iOS on my phone did for Notesy, the app I had been using to synchronise with nvALT. I replaced it with 1Writer, and thought no more about it. 1Writer did what I wanted, it could read, write, edit and search the notes in nvALT.
I've had some odd things happen on micro.blog lately, to whit . To confirm I'm not nuts, I grabbed a screenshot, but when I attempted to create a reply at my Known install, Known refuses to upload the image. This is nothing new, but I had forgotten wabout i...
The most important thing to note is that I was away from my desk literally for three weeks, on a wonderfully relaxing holiday. Of course, there were still work-like things to be done, and they got done, but mostly I wasn’t thinking or doing much “work”. Ever hopeful, I entered a podcast for the James Beard Awards, although the expanded duration allowed, one hour now as opposed to 30 minutes before, is a worry. I also set up some direct payment options so that people can support the podcast. Take that, Patreon.
Over the past few days I have again picked up the torch of fully implementing webmentions in Grav. It's a maddening pursuit, mostly because I don't really know what I'm doing (although I am getting fantastic help from the folks in the IndieWeb community). The details are pretty arcane, and although I am trying to keep a decent record of all the steps and missteps, a full write-up will have to wait. In the meantime, I'm up against all sorts of weird things that I don't fully understand. My main aim is to try and get a more consistent, more essential, set of data back about webmentions to this site. To do that, I need to persuade the plugin to use XRay, rather than the standard PHP microformat parser, which I started doing back in late May.
